According to the owners, Kevin Hornik and Brian Heil, they are eager to create an environment that will make their members feel like it is the perfect place to play tennis for all those in Columbus, or in all of Central Ohio.

Elysium Fall 2010 & Winter 2011 Programs
Fall is here!! Everyone needs to start planning their fall and winter tennis activities. Please get your USTA teams organized and contact the front desk to confirm your practice and coaches.
Ladies teams - As things stand right now, we will have at least one team at the 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 levels for the USTA leagues. Ladies teams typically have at least one practice, many have two, and one match per week.
Mens teams - Per our early planning, Elysium will have at least one team competing at the 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 levels in the USTA leagues. Mens teams vary greatly in their level of team strucure. Some teams practice during the week, others do not.
Elysium stars bring home the trophies !!!
Elysium Tennis Club hosted the 2009 Ohio State High School Girls Tennis Championships on Friday and Saturday the 23rd and 24th of October. Due to inclement weather the entire state championships were held inside on the new courts at Elysium.
In the hot competition of Division I singles, Niki Flower put the pedal to the metal and brought home the championship big iron. Niki is as dominant a player to come along as there has been in quite a while, going the entire season without losing a set. Alex Power also played some huge tennis and finished fourth, to giving Elysium two of the top four women in Ohio in Division I singles. Way to go Niki and Alex, we are very proud of you!!!!
In Division II, the incredible Li sisters, Kim My and My Linh, captured the doubles crown, playing like tigers and capping a terrific season. Rachael Morales lost a tough 3 setter in the singles semifinals, and then stormed back big time to take third place in the Division II singles competition. Great job ladies, you make us proud!!!

Daytime Gold League - 55 & Up
Elysium is proud to announce the creation of a daytime Gold League for all interested players over 50 years of age. This is a special league for those that want to play a little in mid afternoon and can't make it in the evenings.
As of right now we will be holding the league on Tuesday afternoons from 1 to 3 PM. Men and women will play separately on their own sides, unless there are some big hitting women that want to whop up on the old guys. If there is enough interest, we will add more days of the week for play.
Cost is $10 per month for this "Golden Buckeye" membership, and $10 for each of the 2 hour sessions. You may join for one month or six, there are no long term requirements for the "Snowbird" subset.
Only clean, non-marking soled shoes, specifically manufactured for use on tennis courts. No running shoes allowed on courts. No exceptions will be made.
Please go to the Childcare Section to see our hours of operation.
There will be special hours available during the upcoming holidays. Please check the childcare section for details.
